Is this only good for baby food? Or can i use it for everything? Does anyone use this as a normal hand mixer?

I use it for everything. The immersion blender attachment is MUCH higher quality than the immersion blender I had (I actually threw my other one away after using this one).

I wish I could answer this question for you. I gave this to my step-daughter for her baby shower and she is still just nursing. I would think there is an 800number from the manufacturer on the box, or through the internet, and they would be able to answer your questions first hand.

I used it for both, and it worked beautifully. I would say as good as any other hand blender I have used. The ease of processor or blender was a huge plus for us, but of course has the same suggestions for use and care as other similar tools. As long as I followed those guidelines, I had no trouble using it for anything I dreamed up in the kitchen.

we use this for all different kinds of things. it is a great chopper, pure maker, hand held blender etc. we just used the handheld part to make milkshakes the other day and it blended whoppers like nothing. I highly recommend this product for baby food and many others.

This works great for smashing soft fruits and vegetables. I use it for mashing things that baby is going to be eating right away. I prefer using an electric processor when making larger amounts of purees to freeze. This essentially works like a potato masher and leaves some larger chunks.

I always used an emersion blender (sp?) for the fastest results making baby food....used it through 2 children and loved it!!!!!Zap zap, then its done, fast clean up along with fast puree for the babies!!!! alot easier to use and clean then having to use a bigger food processor...but this food processor I love...

No. It's a blender. I use it to mixcake mixes, make smoothies, blend gravy, soups, etc.I also use it to make fruit and vegetable purees.

Yes! I used my hand mixer with no problem. I made a specialty cake, very thick and rich so the batter was almost like bread dough. Both the bowl and the mixer had a workout. Feel free to go for it the bowl will handle it~

Yes, you can definitely use with a hand mixer. I always do and no problems. Just be patient when mixing since the bowls are not very deep.

Yes, it's great for mixing batter or cake mix. It's very light, which makes it easier to handle than heavy glass bowls. That is a big selling point to me. The only bad thing is that it must either be washed by hand or on the TOP RACK of your dishwasher, according to the label. I love the color two - very retro. I am still very happy with this purchase.

Hi Crystal-I have only used this mixer to make cream cheese frosting. It does well on the mixing part but beware that if you put too much powdered sugar in at once it will POOF out of the openings (there is a small space between the bowl and the splatter guard). I made a cake in it last night. I am very happy with this mixer. I use it to make my own bread. It is not a strong enough or big enough mixer to make a 3 loaf recipe.

I have used it to puree a tiny amount of thoroughly cooked chicken breast for my cat!! I suppose it would work well to make baby food, also. The key to using this cuisinart well is: don't "overload" it. You need to put only a tiny amount in at a time per the instructions. I really enjoy my cuisinart Mini Mate. I actually own two of them, one of which I use for grinding coffee beans and the second for "food."

no this is to small for special bowls, you are needing a Kitchen-aide stand mixer for all that and at a considerable higher price. We have that too for major mixing or large recipes. This product is better for smaller items like single batches of cookies or brownies etc.

I was researching this blender to make baby food as well. Did you purchase this model? If so, how is it working for you?

I'm looking to replace my Braun hand mixer that I've had for over 10 years. I know my "older version" definitely said to not run it continuously. It needs to be used in a sort of pulsing action. I have used mine primarily for the chopping and food processing for which I find it indispensable. Even with a family of 6 there are countless ways it is more practical that my large, bulky food processor.

its a very durable high quality hand mixer -great for general mixing -but if its a hook you require ( for stuff like pizza dough etc. )the more durable stand Kitchen aid mixer is what you should use !

Yes, the OXO Food Mill is perfect for baby food. You will want to use the finest or smallest disc of the 3 in the box . This is the same as most people would use for Apple Sauce so it should serve you well for baby food. I don't think it would hurt to try the middle size disc either if your baby doesn't mind a bit more texture. Happy Cooking!!! Drew.

I use the food mill for a variety of fruits and vegetables. You can make mashed potatoes, egg salad, tomato sauce, salsa, etc. You can also use it to make baby food. Depending on how chunky you want your food, pick the appropriate size disc.

I used this Magic Bullet to blend uncooked carrots, which I thought would be difficult. Yes this very good for making baby food.

I think it would be good to make baby food. Each of the 6 bowl has own lid. We have owned the bullet and other such mixer/blender...this is the best one we have owned.
